Integrated Electronic Devices and Circuits II
Spring 2013
Stony Brook University
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Course Description
This is an advance, project oriented, integrated circuit design class. The various practical
aspects of analog and mixed-signal circuit design, like structured design, scalability,
parallelism, low-power consumption, and robustness to process variations, will be
covered. Topics considered will include design of digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital
data converters, delta-sigma modulation, filters, imagers, bioinstrumentation and adaptive
neural computation.

Grading
A. Research Paper Presentation
Each student will make a presentation based on an assigned research paper. These
presentations will be scheduled during the lectures, in the second part of the semester, and
they will be 30 minute long each. The presentation will count with 20% in the final grade.
B. Class Project
The students would organize themselves into groups, each comprising of 2 or 3 members.
The group will schedule meeting hour (1 hour per week) with the instructor to discuss
project issues. The topics for the project would be from the following areas: biomedical
signal processing and acquisition, smart imagers, speech processors and sensory systems.
 Group formation and definition due Week 3
 Project proposal due Week 5
 Project presentation I due Week 10
 Final presentation due Week 13
